Recommended Posts

What have you heard about the linux + live DVD live dvd on the aurox base

That is just a Debian based distro like Mepis is . . . and Mepis seems more suitable . . . . ;)I would first finish PCLos . . then install Mepis . . . and only then look at a 3rd alternative . . . patience please :POkay for the rescue CD post me the next info after the reboot:
# cat /etc/lilo.conf# ls -al /boot

:thumbsup: Bruno

????????????????????????????????????????Maybe you did wait to long because you posted on the forum for the answer . . . . I would re-format hdb9 and try to install again . . . . . and hope this time grub will install in hdb9 . . :"> Bruno

We can only change the screen-resolution on the HD install . . not from the Live CD . . ( or you have to use a cheatcode at boot )But if you hold the left-Alt key you can move the window with your mouse ( place it anywhere you want ) so you can hit the OK button :DB) Bruno

No BrunoI have deleted hdb9 and am preparing to format it in PCLOsAnd seems as if Mepis wants to chose this last partitionand it offered /usr but there are other choices like /homeSo I don't know wether to format or just leave it trhe way it is Colin

Colin . . . two things:1) "Reiserfs" and "Ext3" are two very different filesystems . . . but any of them will do.2) If you make the partition in PCLos you should NOT mount it anywhere ( so NOT /usr or /home !! ) just leave it blank . . . . . . . Then once you install Mepis the Mepis installer should place "/" on hdb9 . . . . and only use one partition.:"> Bruno

Thanks BrunoAlthough I HAD formatted this partion before as reiserfs and that's when the Grub into hdb9 gave me problemsSo if I am right would it be best just NOT to format it???Right now it is sitting at hdb9 empty 15G or soColin

Then change the format to "Ext3" . . . maybe Mepis will like that better . . . In the PCLos partition tool . . . "Umount" --> "Type" ( and you can change the type of format ) --> "Format" :"> Bruno

But Colin . . . . . ."reiserfs ext3" does NOT exist !!!! . . . . It can not be 2 different formats at the same time !!!Delete the partition and recreate it again and make sure it is "journalled Ext3" . . . and also make sure it is NOT mounted anywhere.:"> Bruno
